Hi Mhairi,

Good to hear from you. And congratulations on bringing Martha to this world. How many children is that now? In the last few years we've had Fraser (4) and Jude (2) whose big brother Joe (20) is now at Art School in London.

The lifestyle gains in working from home offset some of what comes with the package. I do get to work on some projects with national impact however, which is great.

Hope you're well.
Best wishes,
Stuart
